Detailed description
The chemistry of crown ethers and crown-like compounds is about twenty-five years old. It is a good time not only to assess the development of the field but also to map out where crown-compound research will lead.
Top-level researchers from around the world have contributed chapters to this book, which presents state-of-the-art views on crown-compound research.
The book identifies areas of the field where, in all likelihood, research and applications will flourish.
